The '''Warhammer''' is a heavily armed and moderately [[Armor|armored]] [[Inner Sphere]] [[Heavy Mechs|Heavy Mech]], possessing modest speed and maneuverability.  Able to dish it out and take it in, the Warhammer is a powerful force on the battlefield, capable of shredding [[Light Mechs]] and [[Vehicles]], as well as standing toe to toe against other Heavies.
+
The '''Warhammer''' is a slow, well-[[armor|armored]] heavy 'mech with a diverse set of loadouts including [[brawlers]], [[skirmishers]], [[generalist]]s, and [[sniper]]s. Generally a good choice for [[tanking]].

Warhammer's large spotlight can be turned on with the ['''L'''] key. It functions differently than the standard Mech spotlights, as it has a much longer range. When fighting [[Battle Armor]] in the Warhammer, players can turn on the spotlight to discern the battlearmor from the surroundings. The Mech also has a narrow vertical field of view, which may make it hard to deal with [[Aerospace]] fighters and [[VTOL]]s.

<p>The Warhammer Prime is the signature mech of Natasha Kerensky. It is also a Knights of the Inner Sphere favorite. With its low price the Prime is a budget favorite and a well-armed mech, possessing a variety of weapons capable of inflicting significant damage at short range and modest damage at medium range. 2 [[PPC]]s provide the initial mid-range punch, disorienting enemy mechwarriors with cockpit shake and disabling [[night vision]]. The Prime's mid-range output is supplemented by 2 [[ML]]s, but it reaches its full damage potential as it closes within 250m. The Prime's 2 [[SL]]s and an [[SRM6]] allow it to step up its firepower as it closes on its foes. The [[SRM6]] provides the primary defense against [[Battle Armor]], allowing the Warhammer Prime to defend both itself and nearby allies from BA ambushes. Being primarily [[Energy Weapon]] based, the Prime sports 4 [[Double Heat Sinks]] allowing a disciplined mechwarrior to output fire continuously without fear of excess heat.</p><p> The Prime has a major difference from all other variants. It is equipped with a [[Engines|standard engine]] which causes no bonus damage to be transferred to its vital center torso from a busted side torso. Spreading damage by torso twisting can allow a Prime to survive far longer than its already hard to kill brethren. The Prime can often escape damaging encounters that would have destroyed many other mechs. The Warhammer Prime is dangerous mech capable of handling a variety of threats at a variety of ranges.</p>

 +
| Writer1= - Warlord Kentax}}
  
 
===Variant A===
 
===Variant A===
−
A hot mech. By being hot means, the weapons, if fired in strict succession and as soon as they come back online, will produce more heat than the six [[DHS|double Heat sinks]] can dissipate.<br>
+
[[Fire-support]] [[asset]]. Prone to [[staring]], dependent on allies to [[tank]] and distract enemies at [[medium-range]]. [[Standard engine]] improves durability.
−
The mech can be set up simply - the three [[LPL]] battery can be assigned the primary group and the backup [[SSRM6]] pair can be used as the secondary group. The latter, if fired in succession will provide twice the screen shake for the while the Large Pulse Lasers come back online. Either way, the main load on the Heat Sinks will be from the Large Pulse Laser battery, up to the level the SSRM6 won't really make a difference if fired or not. Only difference is how soon they will empty the spare ammo bins.<br>
+
{{Commentbox
−
Two noteworthy warnings:
+
| Comment1=[[Group-fire]] the [[LPL]]s until the [[yellow line]], then using a second [[weapon group]], [[chain-fire]] them to avoid [[overheat]].
−
# - When going back to base for Streak reloads you will most certainly go for coolant replenish too, so try to go to factories that can both service ammo purchase as well as repairs, since coolant is replenished only on [[structures#Repair Pad|repair gantries]].<br>
+
| Writer1= - Warlord Kentax}}
−
# - You will be replenishing coolant in the first place, because going over the yellow line, not only denies your [[GECM]] cover and damages your internals, but moreover might lead to weapons lock out should you run in [[overheat protection|heat override safe mode]].<br>
 
−
The selling point for this formidable asset is it's robust pinpoint accuracy with screen-shake backup to spare - an excellent second liner that can turn into a brawler in a pinch, be it in defense or attack.
 
  
 
===Variant B===
 
===Variant B===
−
Many famous warriors where seduced by beauty, several by that of weapons yet only few came to know the [[HVAC10]]. If there ever where warriors guided by the beauty of the weapon, then the admirers of the HVAC10 certainly are some of those.<br>
+
Good [[sniper]] effective at [[screen shake|suppressing]] other snipers in open terrain. Can lead a [[push]] onto an [[objective]] if needed.
−
This War Hammer puts its stakes on the fact that the two HVAC10 have damage beyond that of an [[AC10|heavy Auto Cannon]] all the while reaching beyond the [[AC5|standard Auto Cannon]], rivaling the Gauss and ERPPC. In contrast to all but ERPPC it also induces heavy screen shake to the target.<br>
+
{{Commentbox
−
This alone makes this asset capable of shaking the object of his attention almost out of the ability to retaliate all the way up to 900m out.<br>
+
| Comment1=[[Chain-fire]] the [[HVAC10]]s to suppress enemies more effectively. [[Buy]] HVAC10 ammo for all 4 [[free tons]].
−
Besides the 4 tons for spare reloads, most certainly reserved for the HVAC10s, the Mech also carries an somewhat disparate array of tertiary (in the sense of weapons grouping) backup weapons:<br>
+
| Writer1= - Warlord Kentax}}
−
Once we realize the bulk of that arrays damage reaches out up to between 350 and 200m, we can see the group is less unfortunate but rather a dissonant one. Just fire it all and at once - to your hearts content, or until the two "Beauties" come to wake again.<br>
 
−
 
 
−
This one is devoted for those who are able to step in the thick of the battle and are intimate to the intricacies of the equipment.
 
  
 
===Variant C===
 
===Variant C===
−
Nothing reaches beyond 500 meters on this one - [[GECM]] suite ensures not even radar microwaves. With the least of an firing discipline the 4 [[LPPC]] can be fired indefinitely and in short succession - rendering any opponent blind at night, out to 450m. This sole property renders this variant an night hunter of supreme potential. The 2 [[SPL]], reaching out to 250m bring on the hurt at close range. While the main trump card of this variant, however, is the persuading potential of the [[LBX20]] cannon and it is backed up by the usual ton of spare ammunition. Utmost care is to be taken that each hit counts as the LBX20 cannon does the majority of the C variant's damage. The selling points of this top priced Warhammer is its night hunting potential backed up by the [[GECM]] suite's stealth and extended sensor range provided by [[BAP]], although note that the stealth can be too easily broken by any stray enemy missile on a fly-by, by the treacherous [[LAMS]]. This only applies if the radar is held in the active mode. 5 [[DHS]] and 13t [[Armor]] round out this Whammy that has all the toys. God help the fool that gets in your way!
+
Very high [[alpha strike]], excellent at [[poking]]. Works best as a [[skirmisher]].
  
 
===Variant D===
 
===Variant D===
−
The Warhammer D is the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing of the Warhammer line. 2 [[ERLL]]s and 2 [[Tbolt5]]s will lure your targets in for an easy kill of an long ranged helpless low DPS sniper. Brawlers will weather the storm, closing on you with the intent of scoring a quick kill. Once they arrive, however, they'll be in for a nasty surprise as the D variant's main weapon, a single [[UAC20]], roars into life. This weapon is capable of immense burst damage, and will quickly tear into any dents the enemy took from their approach, coring smaller enemy mechs in a few seconds of fire. Furthermore, it is also placed high on the mech's shoulder, allowing the mechwarrior to fire double AC rounds at enemies while in partial cover. 4 [[DHS]] give the D variant acceptable heat management, and an extra ton of [[free tons|free space]] ensures that its autocannon has more ammo should the enemy prove tougher than expected.<br>
+
Excellent [[Brawler]]. It's two [[PPC]]s give it some [[skirmishing]] ability, too.
−
The selling point of this Variant is to have a foot in both of the worlds - snipers and brute brawlers.

===Variant E===
 
===Variant E===
−
The E is a vicious and inexpensive, but somewhat unfocused, Warhammer. It is more than capable of serving as a back-of-the-line- or midrange-, fire support mech with its [[LRM20]] and two [[AC5]]s. Unlike most fire support mechs, the E can fend for itself in close combat. While its LRM20 becomes useless in close combat, all of its other weapons remain effective, including one [[AC10]], two [[Small laser]]s, and one [[Medium pulse laser]].
+
Operates best as a [[skirmisher]]. [[Burst damage]]-focused with [[damage spreading]] capabilities. Good at targeting individual [[component]]s like [[arming|arms]].
 +
{{Commentbox
 +
| Comment1= Good [[damage multiplier]]s against [[tank]]s.

| Writer1= - Warlord Kentax}}
  
−
Players that constantly position the E for midrange combat will find themselves juggling many different weapon groups while simultaneously attempting to maintain missile lock. Although difficult, this tactic allows the player to put down withering fire on their opponents, especially with the [[screen shake]] from the AC10. Players will also find that the E particularly shines when allies are using [[TAG]] or [[NARC]] effectively, as this allows the E to focus on its other weapons and allows it to [[damage spreading|damage spread]] since it doesn't have to stare to maintain [[missile lock]].
+
===Variant F===
−
 
+
Terrifying [[brawler]], highly effective at [[overheating]] or distracting enemies and eliminating [[BA]]. Four [[Free Tons]] support the ammo-hungry [[RAC5]]s.
−
Weapon groups should be customized depending on the number of available mouse buttons. For four or more mouse buttons, group the [[MPL]] and two [[SL]]s together. When only three mouse buttons are available, the [[AC10]] can be grouped with the [[AC5]]s at only a slight reduction in effectiveness. Regardless of how many mouse buttons are available, players should ensure that the AC10 is mapped to a button that can be held down continually.
 
  
−
===Variant F===
+
{{Commentbox
−
The Warhammer F excels at close combat and can provide modest mid-range support. 2 [[RAC5]]s, the F's primary weapon systems, are able to dish out serious damage allowing the F to engage other heavies as well as strip the armor from assaults at close range. A single [[MRM30]] supplements the already great damage provided by the rotary autocannons, and 3 [[flamers]] give the Warhammer F the ability to punish any energy-focused mechs that are foolish enough to get close. 3 [[DHS]] help dump the waste heat flamers will saddle you with, while 3 [[free tons]] give you some staying power before returning to rearm.

When we speak about this War Hammer, we speak about minding busyness in our neighbor's back yard and in his neighbor's back yard too. We are speaking serious long range and serious punch.<br>

Dedicated [[sniper]]. Poor performance at [[close-range]]. Good choice for wide-open [[maps]].

Speaking of serious, be sure you will be facing serious heat levels as well, for the while the two [[DHS|Double Heat Sinks]] struggle to cool off the waste heat from the two mighty [[ERPPC]]. The trusty [[ELRM15|Extended Long Range Missile launcher of class 15]] isn't too cold either, so the only slack that's cut to you is from the four extremely ranged [[AC2]].<br>

On the other hand, if you look on the ELRM15 launcher as a spare weapon, and use the two ERPPC as a primary group each, putting the four AC2 in the tertiary group, forgoing any [[DPS]] plan in favor of opportune lucky strikes by either single ERPPC jolt or "Alpha" shooting form a totally cold state, you might actually secure a kill steal from an unsuspected angle.

Canon

The Warhammer BattleMech was introduced by StarCorps Industries in 2515 to be "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severely damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." In the mission it was designed for, the Warhammer proved to be a very capable 'Mech, and for centuries practically defined the entire class of heavy 'Mechs. Boasting incredible firepower and respectable armoring, the Warhammer served prominently in the Star League Defense Force and was one of the premier 'Mechs in the Gunslinger Program. Indeed, many of the greatest MechWarriors in history were Warhammer pilots. Being more lightly armored then other mechs of its class, the Warhammer preferred to stay at range where its weaponry was most effective. In addition to PPCs, SRMs, and Lasers, it had two machine guns for defense against infantry.

The Warhammer Armor: Durallex Ballistic-Reinforced Armor, was developed by the Draconis Combine in 3131 as a response to autocannon and missile weapons. The armor is a combination of Hardened and Reactive Armor that reduce damage taken from ballistic and missile weapons. The armor is also known as "reinforced" armor, but many techs use the term "hardened light" to describe it. A thinner version of hardened armor is backed by cable mesh that warps and traps missile and ballistic ammunition.
